Occasionally, we consider moving to San Diego. It’s warm. All the time. It’s beautiful. All the time. The people are attractive. All the time. Honestly, what’s not to like? Then you visit, however, and realize it’s essentially a city devoid of culture, unless you consider being a stop on the way to Tijuana an important cultural experience. We don’t.

We just have to look harder… I know there are some pockets of culture here and there (music! delicious food! lotsa museums!), but definitely not in La Jolla.

2nd grader (reading): "Tommy takes them to visit his I...iii.. ?"
me: Iiiiirish. Irish.
kid: "Tommy takes them to visit his Irish grandparents."
me: Do you know what "Irish" means?
kid: Yep.
me: What does it mean?
kid: It means they're leprechauns.
